Joint problems

Joint problems often signal deeper bodily issues. Causes range from inflammation and arthritis to lifestyle factors. Symptoms include pain and reduced mobility. Addressing underlying causes like diet, exercise, and stress reduction can improve joint health. This approach enhances overall well-being, not just treating symptoms.

hs-CRP-test

GetTested’s hs-CRP Test is an at home blood test designed to measure low-grade inflammation, a biological process that often develops without noticeable symptoms but is commonly evaluated in relation to cardiovascular risk factors. Unlike standard CRP, this high-sensitivity test detects small increases in inflammation that may not otherwise be visible. It is often used to provide additional context when assessing long-term health, especially alongside markers such as cholesterol or metabolic indicators.

Gluten Intolerance TestLab Test

Gluten Intolerance Test

GetTested’s Gluten Intolerance Test is an at home blood test for people who want to understand whether gluten may be part of the picture behind bloating, digestive discomfort, fatigue, brain fog, skin issues or feeling unwell after eating bread, pasta, cereals or other gluten containing foods. Gluten related symptoms can be difficult to identify because they may appear gradually or feel vague. This test measures IgG antibodies against tissue transglutaminase tTG, giving insight into a gluten related immune response that may be relevant when symptoms are hard to connect to one clear trigger. To get a reliable result, it is important to continue eating gluten before testing, as removing gluten too early may make antibodies harder to detect.

The test measures IgG4 antibody responses to 80 selected foods and provides a clear overview of foods that may be worth reviewing, adjusting or rotating in your diet. This broader panel is a strong option if you want more than a basic food review and prefer a wider starting point before making dietary changes.
